  Tmobile internet! Cell phone users take a look


This is for anyone that has tmobile and has wanted to use the internet, but doesn't want to fork over $20 to get the "unlimited plan".

First, add the $5.99 Tmobile web to your service plan(may take up to 24hours to apply). Then:(note, these instructions are directly for the Tmobile Dash, but the settings are the same on all phones for the hack to work):


In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data: Tmobile Data
Connects to: Wap Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

AND add another GPRS option:

T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy

First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP

Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP

In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC

To get the Exchange Server working:
(Exchange Server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet


To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)

Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work
NOTE! The option to select which way to connect isnt available until you finish creating the POP account (go back in and change to: Work)

To get IE working:
(In IE)Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network

I've done this on my dash and its working great. I'm not restricted to tmobiles stupid internal website.

I'm currently testing to see if I can send text messages over the GPRS at no cost. If so this will allow me to eliminate my additional text message plan. This will offset the $5.99 for the internet.

Tmobile once locked this workaround down, but within a week they received so many complaints that they decided to open it back up. $5.99 extra is better then losing customers, right?

Let me know if you need any assistance and i'll do my best to help you out.



Best bang for the buck audio list:
DLS PS4 4" fits 4x6" hole ~$89.95
DLS 4255.25 ~$78.00
DLS R6A 6.5" fits 6x9 hole ~$123.00
Pioneer GM-5300T $99.00
Exodus Shiva-X 12" sub $165

Wow! Thank you soooooo much.
I just switched to Tmobile web from the over-priced data plan the other day, and hadn't been able to figure this out.

what model phone do you have? As far as I know you have to atleast have a built browser. QWERTY keyboard preferred.
Update: Opera Mini stopped working. When I get home Ill try to figure it out. Its something to do with it being a java app, I know that much

I have a Blackberry curve with T-Mobile. I have to use the Blackberry service I believe. Nice find though.

I found over the course of 2 years, I had 2 valid uses for internet on my phone. And even then, a simply phone call would have been able to accomplish the the same thing. So for me, I can't justify the cost of the internet on the phone.

On the curve can you access, and modify/add, the GPRS and Proxy settings? If so then this workaround should work for you.
You have to use you computer, I did too, to add the Tmobile web service. You cant add it from the phone as this connection wasnt designed for high bandwidth PDA/SmartphoneS.

When I had t mobile I used to try to use the net but I barley ever had phone service. Their pricing is superior but since I switched to Verizon I've been much happer.

What youre getting are known as phantom alarms. This is a slight glitch with the ROM version that you have. An updated ROM was released last month. It fixes the issue. Remember to sync up and save everything
